Your lawn has a health score. Clover is here to improve it. Lawn Apprentice gives you an AI advisor that knows your lawn the way a neighbor with a horticulture degree would — your grass type, your local weather, your watering schedule, your full history. Ask anything. Snap a photo of a problem. Or just open the app and let Clover tell you what needs attention before you even ask. Clover doesn’t wait for you to have questions. She checks in when your score drops, flags an overdue task, or notices your post-treatment window is coming up. It’s less like a lawn app and more like having someone who actually keeps track. What’s inside: • Clover AI — asks about your lawn, diagnoses problems from photos, builds seasonal programs, and remembers what matters across every conversation. Knows your grass type, zone, soil test, rainfall, and sprinkler schedule simultaneously. • Lawn Health Score — a live score built from your actual activity history. Factors in real rainfall and your sprinkler output so it reflects what’s actually happening, not what should be. • Activity Log — every mow, fertilizer application, weed treatment, and watering in one place. The more you log, the smarter Clover gets. • Smart Scheduling — seasonal task scheduling tuned to your grass type and climate zone. Clover can build and manage your entire care calendar. • Curated Product Store — vetted products matched to your grass type, with coverage calculations for your exact lawn size. Free to use. No subscriptions. No paywalls. Whether you just bought your first house or you’ve been chasing a perfect lawn for years — Lawn Apprentice meets you where you are.
